Hello,
I'll be on the road for July 4th, and would like to get in at least a few workouts while I'm away. I work for an airline and will be taking advantage of my flight benefits to do some travel.
Will be in DC first, 6/30 to 7/1. Does anyone know of a team in the DC area that allows drop-ins? I'll be staying in Rockville, MD, right off of the metro line (RED). I won't have a car, so it would have to be a place near a metro stop. I'd love a 6 or 7am workout so I can still be a tourist for the day.
Also, will be in Boston from 7/1 to 7/5. It would be great if there was an open water swim going on then, but I couldn't find anything online. From what I saw, many teams don't allow drop-ins. I'll be staying in the Copley area, and again won't have a car. Anyone know of a team not too far from there or a T station that I can swim with? Again, early workouts are the best, but I'll take what I can get.
When I travel, I usually end up swimming on my own. But when you're used to swimming with a team and a coach telling you what to do, I usually end up feeling lost most of the time.
I have looked in the Places To Swim...but it is rather confusing. I was also surprised at the number of teams that don't allow drop-ins, doesn't seem very welcoming to me. Although we may be crowded at our workout here, we allow folks to drop in when they're in town.
Thanks for any info anyone has.

Wilson High School is a good pool. And very easy to get to. However my favorite pool in DC is Marie Reed. then after you swim fgo out to a restaurant inthe neighborhood, I lived in Adams Morgan for 10 years . Was the best time of my life. But also htis time of year go to the outdoor pool at Key Jr. High.
There use to be an old man who swam at wilson inthe side pool. when Adam was a little boy (4 to 5 yrs old). this was in the late 80's. He would play in the swallow side pool. that man was always there. After awhile I started to wonder if th e man was a prevert. When we woudl leave to go shower, the guy would follow us ion to th eshowers and watch us.
Wilson High was the first fullly integrated high school in DC. I knew a guy who was inits first graduation class. He was one of the partners in my friends restaurant in Adams Morgan, the Belmont Kitchen. Adam was the first sophmore to play varsity football there. He was also the only white kid onthe team! It was great.
